DAYS UNTIL WAVE; 67.
The trio slept dreamlessly, only waking after the morning sun had started leaking through the slits in the entrance. Malico was the first one to awaken. As she open her eyes, she was shocked to see kaori with her face buried in her mountainous cleavage, her pretty face practically sandwiched between the flesh melons. Malico was surprised at how peaceful she looked with another woman's breasts in her face, before she noticed that Tyler was still asleep on Kaori's other side. That's when the catgirl noticed that both her and Tyler's arms were wrapping the blonde between them like parents sheltering there child after she's had a nightmare. Well I guess we both did have a nasty fright yesterday. Malico let kaori off the hook for using her rack as pillows to hide in, and turned to examine the sleeping Tyler. He was breathing softly, still apparently deep in sleep. occasionally his eyes would twitch, indicating he was dreaming. I'm curious to see what HE dreams about. She hadn't forgotten his attack on her poor boobs yesterday, and even the mere memory made her loins inch, but she did kinda wish he'd do it again. I can't tell him THAT though, as god knows what'll happen the NEXT time. She sighed quietly, wishing he would fondle her again, albeit more gently next time. As she sighed she saw his eye pop open and stare directly into her soul. The catgirl froze, nervous as to what that menacing look was about. Before it softened and he rose gingerly from the still asleep kaori, as to not wake her. Malico breathed a sigh of relief the blazing single-eyed gaze had left her. I guess that was the Monster's gaze? maybe first thing it's in control until the REAL Tyler wakes up and retakes command. either way that was scary! Malico was about to rise as well, but the sleeping kaori had other plans. She nuzzled further into Malico's chest and fully-asleep, took one of the busty woman's large nipples in her mouth and started suckling like an infant. Malico was not prepared for this, as along with their tails, A Nekoplesian's breasts were extremely sensitive to stimulation. And Malico's' were no exception. As kaori continued suckling, Malico's breathing became increasingly labored as she fought against her body's reaction to Kaori's soft wet mouth. The poor catgirl had no other choice but to take it, since kaori had wrapped her arms and her legs around the taller woman, effectively holding her hostage as she took advantage.
Outside sadly unaware of the wonderfully yuri scene taking place inside the tent, Tyler was patrolling the borders of the Warning spell, checking for signs of trouble. Finding none he went and relit the fire, and started on breakfast while to two women slept{As far as he was aware they were!} He had finished the toast and was about to start opening a jar of preserved strawberries, when he remembered he had a small jar of pancake batter he had gotten from the kitchen back at the village in his pack. so he crept back into the tent to retrieve it, when he heard a loud sucking sound and glanced over to see kaori, sound asleep, sucking Malico's huge nipples! He froze unsure what to do, and unwilling to interrupt the sexy scene. As he stared with fascination at the scene, he heard a muffled moan and saw that Malico was indeed wide awake during Kaori's sleep-suck. Malico's eyes were streaming tears as she fought her body, desperately trying to NOT enjoy herself as much as she clearly was, and every so often her hips would buck, then she would force then still. Tyler decided to leave the busty catgirl to her fate at the sleeping kaori, smiled, gave the suffering catgirl a thumbs up, and crept out. Once again wishing for a camera, Tyler set about making breakfast, eagerly awaiting the carnage that was sure to come. Back inside the tent, Malico had watched him reenter, clearly looking for his pack, when he spotted her helpless plight. At first the tall, sexy catgirl was relieved that help had arrived, but her heart sank when she saw how his eyes had lit up, and the clearly approving stare he had on his face, Come on don't enjoy this HELP me! She mentally pleaded, Kaori was driving her insane, and at the rate she was going she wouldn't hold on for much longer. She stared at her only salvation with a pleading look in her eyes, but Tyler simply smiled gave her an approving thumbs up and left the tent, and Malico to kaori's torture. Malico gave up fighting at that point and just went with what her body craved, sliding a hand down below her stomach, she hoped kaori would waken before she reached her spot. alas though...something much much worse happened instead: kaori's hand got there first.
Tyler was setting aside the pancakes he'd just finished making, when there was a loud screaming moan coming from the tent, followed by a surprised yell from kaori, followed by another moaning scream, accompanied by a disgusted scream from kaori. Both girls were screaming at this point, and Tyler went to investigate, figuring on what he would find when he got there. Upon entering the tent, he found a different scene entirely, Malico was gasping for air and twitching, a hand near her stomach, while Kaori was screaming at the taste in her mouth and where it came from, and the glistening liquid on her fingers, and where that had come from and how it got there. All in all it was a lot of screaming first thing in the morning, Tyler wasn't' sure where to begin, so simply went with,
"Hey breakfast's almost ready sooo, yeah, wash up."
Tyler ducked out of the tent, the chaos inside way above his paygrade. He went back to the task of preparing the food. He added the strawberries to the pancakes, and set some tasty bacon to sizzling on a flat rock near the coals, we eat a lot of bacon, now that i think of it, maybe we should stock up on other stuff when we hit Dragul.
Inside the tent the ladies had recovered themselves enough to properly discuss the morning's events. After hearing how happy she had seemed to be sucking on another woman's breasts, plus her hand gestures, kaori wasn't sure whether to feel ashamed, disgusted or both. She did however apologize profusely the abused catgirl. Malico had initially laughed at her apologies, before turning serious,
"Look Kaori, There's something I want to ask you. so please be honest okay?"
kaori nodded
"Sure"
Malico took a breath,
"What were you dreaming of at the end there? You seemed to go from suckling child to girl-loving in an instant. So I'm naturally curious"
kaori blushed a deep shade of red at the thought of her dream, but the honest blonde answered truthfully,
"Us,"
"Hrm?"
Malico tilted her head, unsure of what she just heard,
"US, In was dreaming of the three of us, in a single bed, going at it, and I guess at the end there, I was focusing on you a lot so..."
Malico smiled at the raging pervert behind those seemingly prim and proper green eyes.
"Oh just us? Well the I guess I can let it slide.....on one condition."
Kaori looked up at the leering catgirl,
"What is it?"
She asked in a trembling voice,
"You have to tell me everything the three of us did to each other in that dream of yours, with exacting detail, oh and we both have to be naked when we do so, understood?"
kaori's eyes grew wide at the conditions of her surrender, and simply nodded.
"wonderful! now lets go get fed and get cleaned!"
Malico rose and dragged the internally confused girl to her feet and lead her outside. Both girls walked out naked, planning on bathing after the meal anyway. Tyler watched the alluring pair walk out hand in hand,
"Well, glad everyone survived, come on eat up! I want to check out that corpse before the scavengers get it."
The trio ate the good food in silence, each with their own thoughts; Tyler running down a checklist of blanks he needed fill from the Fallen wyvern, Malico recalling the mornings events, and eagerly waiting for when she could interrogate the beautiful shy blonde about her wild side, and Kaori wonder whether she liked girls or boys or both, and what that would mean with Tyler. Whatever she was, she was certain he'd only offer support and strength, but the phrase what if kept bouncing around her head. meanwhile, Tyler was discussing Wyverns with the naked busty catgirl, running through yesterdays attack, from when it first appeared to, to the sounds it made, to the way it moved, if it's eye followed them like a persons or if it turned it's whole head. Malico answered the questions to the best of her ability, knowing that the more information she fed this strategic genius, the safer the plan he was no doubt formulating in his head that much more effective.
After the meal, the girls headed off to the deeper stream to try to wash the morning away, only this time Tyler followed them, both to protect them while bathing and clean the camps dishes. As the girls splashed the refreshing water over their beautiful bodies, Tyler finished cleaning duties, and drew Oblivion and started across the stream to where the corpse was. The girls both hollered for him to be careful, to which he swung Oblivion in a affirmative manner. Satisfied their hero had heard them, they promptly resumed splashing. Tyler reached the corpse after climbing the bank. As this was still within the Protective Warning's Area Of Effect, neither Bugs nor scavengers had been able to reach the dead monster. Tyler went straight to the monster's primary defenses: it's scales and swung Oblivion into the scales on the beasts side where they should be thickest and the hardest. Oblivion bit deep into the beasts corpse, slicing through the thick scales and skin with ease. Tyler was mildly surprised at the depth of the cut, he had fully expected Oblivion to be able to cut the beast to ribbons. Next he did a sharpness test with the beasts claws., again using Oblivion as his bar, he dragged a rock across all the beasts claws on both back and front feet, wincing at the sound. Apparently a Wyvern could slice clean through a two inch rock. That discovery gave him an idea, and so he removed all the animals claws, intending to sell them as cutting tools at the next village. He next moved to the beasts head. It was about a meter and a half long, and about a half meter tall at it's biggest. It still had the six shafts sticking out from when Tyler had killed it. He cut the beasts throat with Oblivion just to be absolutely sure the creature was well and truly dead before inspecting it's teeth. They were between one and three inches long at their longest. They were curved backward as well, meant for a sadistic grip designed to never left go. Tyler again preformed his battery of tests of strength, sharpness, and potential killing power. As Tyler was examining the creature, he heard approaching footsteps, but relaxed when he heard Kaori's voice,
"Hey Tyler! You still up here?"
Tyler stood up from where he'd been inspecting the scales on the beasts' head,
"Yeah over here ladies. This thing is a nasty piece of work."
He replied to the still naked ladies as they approached, and as they got nearer he noticed a small patch of blonde hair between Kaori's thighs, while Malico was bald. strange what one can notice without intending to The ladies stopped about five feet from the dead creature, seeing the results of Tyler's tests. The beast was effectively butchered by Tyler's tests, the legs were cut to the bone and beyond, the tail severed, the stomach pierced and emptied so he could understand it's diet, the claws and teeth removed and stored in pouches nearby. At the sight of these, Malico picked one up,
"Hey, Malico, can we sell those for anything?"
She shook the bag, before replying,
"sure, I think the merchants buy these for fifty copper a pouch. Although the meat is where the money's at."
"The meat? you can eat these things?"
Malico squirmed with delight at the thought of Wyvern steak,
"OH Yes, you can eat them, they're one of the great tastes of Lectis. they say if you fry then coat the meat in butter and then fry it in oil, it turns a crispy brown color with a divine crunch and a taste like heaven itself. The meat on the side is good too, so is the tail, legs, basically the entire animal, really. You can even harvest the glades in it's feet that produce the paralyzing agent and sell it to any alchemists shop for at least thirty silver, or if your clever and have the skills, you can refine into your own paralyze poison. The creatures a pretty sought after gold mine, but since their such a pain in the ass to actually hunt down and kill, their considered both a royal delicacy and exclusive noble-hunted animal. I wish i could taste it though."
Tyler smiled,
"Hey kaori, head back to camp and get the butchery gear please, and then could you help with this? We gonn eat good tonight!"
Kaori smiled and shot off for the camp, eager to add to their supplies, and show off her knife work to the better endowed catgirl. Malico was a little worried at the prospect of butchering an animal normally reserved for nobles and royalty for themselves,
"Ahh hey Tyler, I don't think this is a good idea, wyverns are exclusive to nobility, so we are not really supposed to take the meat and stuff, we could get in a lot of trouble with the crown if they found out." Tyler jumped down from his position the beasts back,
"The crown already hates me and kaori for killing the knight commander, so i don't really care what he thinks or his court for that matter. All I care about is kaori and you, the others can go fuck themselves for all I care."
Malico blinked at this news,
"Wait what? you killed commander Gruven?"
Her voice quivering, Tyler looked at the devastated catgirl now on the verge of crying, he sighed and explained the full story of the Day of Summoning, the pope and his play for kaori and the commander's fate at Tyler's hand.
"So I took his sword to a smith and he turned into Oblivion for me and Dawn or kaori."
Upon hearing the full story, Malico sat against a tree,
"Hey can you give me a minute please? I need to think."
Tyler nodded and returned to his bloody task of cleaning and prepping the animal for butcher. Tyler was harvesting the glands from the creatures feet with his Sgian Dao, when Kaori returned with rags, cloths and the butchery kit. She was also clad{FINALLY}in a white coverall as to not get blood on herself. As she reached him, he removed the organ, a translucent, basketball-sized mound of flesh. Carefully he deposited it into a nearby bucket kaori had placed beside him. He then went and retrieved the other three organs. As he did so, kaori used the knowledge gifted to her by her uncle to start carving strips of meat and wrapping them for transport on horseback. Malico had not yet stirred from her spot beneath the tree, as she watched the pair quickly and efficiently dismantle the much larger creature into travel sized portions, she sorted through her complicated emotions. Gruven had been like an uncle to her, as he had her grandfather were both former adventurers from the same party, since he himself was a former Warrior himself he had been blessed or cursed with an extended lifespan. One several times longer then all except the demonfolk who were eternal. She'd heard that he had been murdered, and that the culprits had escaped, but that was all she knew. She had cried like a child when she found out. Houndra seemed sad too and had consoled the heartbroken girl. After that Tyler and kaori had came into her life. She had devoted herself to Tyler, only now to find out he'd killed her beloved uncle seemed cruel. as she watched Tyler toss an extra large piece of flesh to a waiting Kaori, a word of warning before he did so, Malico made a decision to forgive the man his actions as he had had no other option, and she knew him well enough by now that if another option had been available he would have taken it. After she made her choice her heart became several times lighter. She surged to her feet, her still naked breasts flopping, and went to help the laboring pair. Only for Tyler and Kaori to yell at her to go get dressed, as they were leaving soon. She pouted,
"But I LIKE being naked. I hate pants!"
Tyler smiled,
"Well put on a long shirt or something, and I'll call it good. Sound fair? and when we're in camp or an inn room you don't need to wear clothes if you don't want to, but you have to have at least a long shirt on when riding deal?"
Malico nodded, "
Deal!"
and dashed off, her rack flopping and bouncing. Kaori sighed,
"That applies to you too, Kaori, if naked you want to be, be naked."
She spluttered at this, before bursting out laughing at the thought, why not? The pair finished their gruesome task, with enough meat to last for weeks if their were careful. As they brought their haul back to camp, they found Malico running around in a long gown that stopped just below her thighs, of course every time she moved at all the cloth would of course show off her treat. and her tail made it worse. Tyler just shook his head and went with it. kaori did the same. Now fully stocked on rare meats and some trade goods, the pair finished breaking camp, before mounting their horses and setting off again. Tyler once again leading the pack, Kaori to his right, and a nearly naked Malico to his left. together they rode toward the city of Dragul. as they went Malico called out to Tyler,
"Hey I just realized that I don't know where we're going."
Tyler kept his eyes on the road ahead of them as he replied.
"We're headed to the City of Dragul, to meet with it's leader, Valdic Sharpspike. Then we're gonna kill a clan of Wyvern's that have set up shop in the nearby forest."
Malico's eyes grew wide,
"wait, THAT Valdic? In Dragul?!"
Tyler was now high alert at the fear in her voice.
"What's up Malico?"
Her voice quivered with rage as she explained the evil that was Valdic,
"He's a hateful monster, with an open resentment for Tailed people, like NekoPlesians, they say he actively discriminates against them, and deliberately seeks to make them miserable. His city guard are among the most ruthless towards our kind in the country. You'll see, when we arrive, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to do things to me. I also heard he earned his second name Sharpspike because he fights with a spear and likes to impale his victims. I even heard he has a collection of tails from those he ruined hanging on his wall."
Tyler and kaori both looked at each other,
"That actually explains a lot, Tyler,"
Tyler was in complete agreement,
"It does answer a few questions, like whether we are actually gonna help this guy or not."
Malico looked confused by his calm words,
"What do you mean?"
Tyler smiled an unpleasant smile,
"Well my dear Malico, the king himself asked us to do this, but we are not holden to him or anyone in this world. I had planned to make my final call upon meeting this guy. But it looks like I won't have to decide then, cause I have already made my call on this matter: Both he and the king can go fuck themselves. We'll still go to the city, so i can tell him to his face."
Malico was shocked at how easily he'd made the choice to blow off a direct request to the king. "B-B-but, this is a request from the king himself! Are you gonna seriously blow him off like that? I mean the guy's a monster, but are you sure?"
There was not a shred of doubt in his voice as he replied,
"I don't give a flying fuck who they are, you got a problem with my friends, then I don't need you. I don't need the kings support, I don't need him to like me or my methods, and I certainly don't have to do anything for either him or the crown or the country for that matter. All I need is right here, with you two, on the road going where we will. Everyone else can fuck right off."
Malico was speechless, at this point kaori felt the need to explain something to Malico,
"Listen, Malico, we're still gonna kill those wyverns, but we'll do it because WE want to, not for a raving racist, or a king that endorses one. Right now Tyler's really, really pissed. So the only thing you need to worry about IS PUTTING A FRIGGIN PAIR OF PANTS ON, when we reach the city. We'll all tell him to fuck off, Tyler will terrify the pompous asshole, and we'll be on our merry way. Oh hey Tyler? Does that mean our original plan went out the window?"
Tyler nodded,
"Sadly it appears so, don't worry I'm working on it"
Kaori turned back to the busty catgirl,
"Our original plan was to set up shop in Dragul, and join the local adventurer's guild, but we've abandoned that plan since we don't support racists or the cities that have them as leaders."
Malico was touched,
"Awww thanks guys,"
Kaori pulled Gloss up next to her,
"Between you and me,"
She said in low tone,
"three things, One: I'm betting that the Monster makes an appearance when meeting with Valdic, two: Tyler will make the guy piss or shit himself or both, and Three: I think he just likes having your rack around!"
Malico went red in the face at the last thing but before she could smack the dirty-minded blonde, Kaori had deftly moved Gloss back to her original spotted on Tyler's right, keep both him and Thunder between her and the red-faced cat. Malico gave a very-cat like growl,
"Ohhh you better watch out Blondie! I know where you sleep! maybe I'll return the fun from this morning tonight!"
Tyler perked up at the thought,
"Haha, Now's that's something I'd PAY to see!"
"SHUT UP"
A pair of wacks from both women left his cheeks red, he still chuckled at the pair of blushing beauties, "worth it, totally worth it"
He received a pair of glares for that one. They rode in silence for a while, but stopped when the city wall came into view. Tyler got down from Thunder and pulled the looking glass{This world's version of Binoculars} and peered at the city Wallgate. Kaori and Malico dismounted as well. Malico grumbled as she put her cutoff short shorts, leather crop top, and fingerless gloves on, but she still went barefoot, which Tyler didn't care about as much as the pants. Kaori walked over to the scouting Warrior,
"Well how bad is it?"
Tyler sighed as he handed the device to the pretty blonde. as kaori looked though the single long tube, which used the mana of it's user to provide a picture off a far off image and make see like your right there just without sound, she watched as guards would tear the clothes off Tailed women, who were wearing a large metal collar, then either grope them, or drag the poor woman around a corner out of sight, usually four or five guards would follow. Sometimes the woman would walk back under her own power, albeit very unsteadily, like every step was painful, or she wouldn't and the guards would come back with extremely satisfied looks on their flushed faces. kaori watched the scene of wanton evil, as Tailed women of every and all ages were subjected to the horrors of humanity. While the women were taken, the men were viciously beaten and held at spear point as they could quite clearly hear the screams of their loved ones. But most appallingly, was the fact that even more Tailed people were entering the city then leaving which spoke volumes about the business dealings of the city, as most of the new arrivals were clothed in chains, and nothing else.
"Tyler do we have to go in there? Can't we just leave?"
Kaori was crying at the sight of such evil. Tyler sighed,
"I at least have to, but I do not want either of you near the place. If you feel like you can't stomach this, either of you, then head back to our old campsite and I'll deal with this. I'll head back after I'm done and we can wash our hands of this place."
As he spoke he opened his HUD and poured a full hundred and fifty points into strength, speed and agility. He then armed himself with Oblivion, his bow, quiver, and Sgian Dao. He had a look of stone on his face, and an enraged fire in his eyes. As he climbed back on to Thunder, he patted the massive warhorse,
"Alright big boy, I need you had your most intimidating, we're walking into a den of evil, and I want even my horse to scare them, understand?"
Thunder tossed his solid black head, and neighed.
"That's my boy"
